So it’s been one week already and we are all moved in to our new house! So far it’s been a lot of work unpacking, cleaning and patching things up…but we think we are going to love having our own house. I seriously feel like I’m living in a mansion. Going from living in a 700 square foot apartment for almost 7 years to an 1800 square foot house will make ya feel that way, I guess. My favorite parts about the house are the enormously huge kitchen and the cozy living room with the fireplace that I’ve always dreamed of having. I’ll have to post pictures as soon as I get the boxes, ladders, and overall clutter out of the way so I can actually take some decent photos.

I’ve also had some requests for “before and after” photos of my old kitchen versus new kitchen. I think my new kitchen is the size the entire apartment was! Wow, that’s really sad. Oh, my new kitchen also has WINDOWS….which means natural light….which means a lot more enjoyable times spent in the kitchen It really makes a huge difference having space to move around and windows to look out while I’m cooking or baking. I might not be able to find where I put anything in this huge kitchen but it sure beats the gloomy, cramped kitchen I came from!

This recipe I’m sharing today is by FAR is one of my new favorite pasta dishes. I always thought avocado was just for guacamole but I was sooo wrong. It is such a delicious, creamy and rich treat that’s pretty versatile. I came across this recipe on a great blog that I recently started following and knew I had to make it the second I saw it. It was simply amazing. I never thought of incorporating avocado into a cream sauce but it’s ingenious….oh, and avocados are healthy for you! They have a lot of fat in them , but thankfully, those fats are the healthy kind. Enjoy!

OMG Ashley!! You had me at red pepper pasta. I LOVE red peppers in my pasta. I always add them! BUT the addition of a cream sauce…. an AVOCADO cream sauce has me craving this pasta for breakfast with my coffee. Sounds gross, but I really don’t think you could go wrong with a huge plate of this!!

Yay! Congrats on your new house! I remember when we first moved into a house from a tiny downtown Indy apartment. i remember just standing in our extra bedrooms thinking “what in the world am I going to do with all this space?!”

Hi Ashley thanks for your visit. I was born here in America and all Italian ancestors. I was brought up by a grandma that spoke broken English and cooked from her Region in Rome. I had never had the pasta with cream until I went to a restaurant.. Your avocado cream sauce is divine I love both the Italian twist you put on this one as well. Americanized is the new Authentice don’t you think? Have a great weekned!
